Review by Matt S. I don’t generally like brawlers, but I do like Dragon’s Crown. In fact, I’ve ended up enjoying it a whole lot more than I thought I would. Back when I reviewed it on the PlayStation 3, I called it a “bit of multiplayer fun,” but not…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. City of Brass is such a rare treat. Set in the heart of a 1001 Arabian Nights story (one of my favourite books of all time), the game offers all those fantasy Middle Eastern aesthetics and themes that I love (but rarely get to see), wrapped…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Rememoried is like a cousin to Proteus; both are highly experimental – and memorable – “walking simulators”, and both focus their experience around the player indirectly manipulating the world around them. Proteus gave you control over the soundscape; as you moved through the world your proximity…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Drive on Moscow is the last thing you’d expect to see on a console. Tactics RPGs and even more serious strategy titles like Nobunaga’s Ambition are one thing, but Drive on Moscow is the full grognard experience. The most hardcore of the hardcore. The kind of…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. I didn’t expect Megadimension Neptunia VIIR would be so different to the original Megadimension Neptunia VII from 2016. I know we’d been promised “engine changes,” but thought that would be be limited to back-end stuff to make the game play more smoothly and look a little…
Read MoreReview by Harvard L. Extinction represents some of the unfortunate problems of mid-tier development: its scattered focus and cut corners lands it firmly in the good-but-not-great category, and thus it fails to either achieve the immersive spectacle of the AAA sphere, nor the affordable ingenuity of the indie space. It…
Read MoreReview by Priscilla M. The Adventure Pals developed by Massive Monster and released on PC/Mac, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One, is a colourful and vibrant action-adventure platforming game. You control a young boy named Wilton; whose birthday plans are interrupted by the evil Mr. B, who kidnaps your…
Read MoreReview by Brad L. God of War has been one of those series that I just could not get into. With previous games, despite offering fast-paced action akin to what makes PlatinumGames titles so special, I couldn’t relate to the narratives whatsoever. Kratos was painted as a tough, merciless character,…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Let’s talk about Diablo clones. It’s rare for a game to be so influential that it becomes a genre title in itself, but that’s certainly the case for Diablo. That original masterpiece, released far back in 1996, has joined the ranks of the likes of Rogue…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. I didn’t really want to sit down and write this review of Regalia. Doing so is going to take hours out of my life and… the game’s just not worth it. But in the interests of being professional, here we go: there’s nothing outright wrong with…
